Clark County Public Health has added Minnehaha Elementary School as an exposure site in the ongoing measles outbreak in the county. A total of 41 cases of measles have been confirmed in Clark County, along with 15 suspected cases.
The exposure at Minnehaha, from 3:45 to 7:45 p.m. Jan. 17, did occur after school, but given how close the exposure was to the end of a regular school day, Public Health is still implementing the same exclusions as they’ve done at other schools.
Authorities located a downed plane Tuesday on Mount Hood that had been missing since it took off Friday afternoon from Grove Field Airport in Camas. The pilot and sole occupant of the aircraft was killed in the crash, according to the Hood River, Ore., County Sheriff’s Office.
The deceased was identified as George Regis, 63, of Battle Ground. His wife reported him missing Monday, the sheriff’s office said.
Prosecutors are pursuing new charges against a 23-year-old man accused in a Vancouver shooting and robbery after he allegedly solicited three Clark County Jail inmates to intimidate the victim.
Court documents show Isaac Depre Frazier appeared Monday in Clark County Superior Court to face three counts of intimidating a witness and a single count of first-degree burglary. Frazier’s bail was increased to a total of $2.5 million. He will be arraigned Friday.
